They leave ours alone but all plantings at our place from this spring
forward are on the deer-proof list. Hollyhocks are not on the list. I
planted lillies several years ago, maybe the deer were too busy eating those
the last couple years to be worried about the hollyhocks. Surround them w/
onions? I did crazy things last year. I even tied onions to my fences here
and there. Good luck. :)
